I realize I’m a little late to the game in getting my herbs started, but better late than never! The usual gang have all taken root: rosemary, basil, flat-leaf parsley, mint, lemon thyme (probably my favorite herb EVER), oregano… and the newcomer, weighing in at a whopping 10 oz., lavender mint!

Once these contenders move up in weight class and I can actually snip off a portion for cooking without resulting in a knockout, it’s on! Whether adding sprinklings of mint to a seasonal fruit salad, or scattering goat cheese and lemon thyme over a free-range poached egg, herbs never stop being wonderful flavor contributors to any dish.

I just bought Lemon Thyme yesterday!! I saw it at my local nusery and remembered you mentioned it was your favorite! I followed your advice and made eggs with lemon thyme. My dish was a bit different than yours; I scrambled eggs, topped it with Gouda and lemon thyme and then wrapped it with a gluten-free flax/millet/teff/agave wrap! Yum!!! It was delicious! Thanks for the inspiration and introducing me to lemon thyme!
